Which is important, seeing as Barksdale first launched the Ormeus Global bot roughly a year and a half ago.

Curiously, whereas Organo Gold has vehemently denied any interest in entering the MLM cryptocurrency niche through IQ Chain, its logo is being used to promote IQ Legacy.

The above is taken from a December 9th video that was published to the official IQ Legacy YouTube channel.

The host of presentation video suggests that Organo Gold’s “assets” will be used to pump value into ORME.

[13:45] What’s Organo’s role in all of this?

Well Organo has a strategic co-op-etition relationship with Ormeus and Digital Skynet, where there’s an exchange of assets.

There’s a co-leveraging, or a cooperative leveraging of assets that kind of helps out each other.

One of the things (the relationship) does is it allows Organo to offer digital currency as part of its reward system, in exchange for leveraging some of its real-world assets to help boost the value of the coins that Ormeus and Digital Skynet are bringing to the marketplace.

For reference, Digital Skynet is the parent company Barksdale uses to insulate himself from his various failed MLM ventures.

We’ve reached out to Organo Gold corporate for a response to IQ Legacy’s claims. Particularly the suggestion Organo Gold’s assets will be used to prop up IQ Legacy’s digital currency offerings.

We’re also curious as to why Organo Gold is partnering with a company seemingly committed to securities fraud.

As I write this the Alexa cite the US as the only significant source of traffic to the IQ Legacy website (71%).

Pseudo-compliance “we don’t market in the US” or no, IQ Legacy is being promoted within the US and is soliciting investment from US residents.

At the time of publication neither John Barksdale, Ormeus Global, IQ Chain, IQ Legacy or Holton Buggs are registered to offer securities within the US (or anywhere in the world for that matter).

On the compensation plan side of things, it doesn’t appear much has changed between IQ Chain and IQ Legacy.

There is of course the automated returns paid through the supposed AI bot, although specifics are not disclosed on the IQ Legacy website.

One addition appears to be promotion of a point of sale tied to IQ Legacy, through which payments in cryptocurrency can supposedly be made.

Again, details of this, including which cryptocurrencies will be accepted (only ORME?), are not provided on the IQ Legacy website.

What we do know is IQ Legacy affiliate membership is $99 a month (commissionable) plus the purchase of a a Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum pack.

Notably, IQ Legacy are only accepting bitcoin from affiliates (what, I can’t pay in ORME?).

the Bronze pack costs $500 in bitcoin, allows an affiliate to invest up to $5000 with the trading bot and pays an 8% residual commission rate

the Silver pack costs $1500 in bitcoin, allows an affiliate to invest up to $50,000 with the trading bot and pays a 9% residual commission rate

the Gold pack costs $5000 in bitcoin, allows an affiliate to invest up to $200,000 with the trading bot and pays a 10% residual commission rate

the Platinum pack costs $10,000 in bitcoin, allows an affiliate to invest an unlimited amount of funds with the trading bot and pays a 12% residual commission rate

Residual commissions are paid out via a binary compensation structure.

Through various ranks, an IQ Legacy affiliate is able to increase their residual commission rate to 15%, capped at $175,000 a week.

Retail trading bot access is apparently possible but no details are provided on the IQ Legacy website.

Recruitment commissions are paid on package purchases by newly recruited affiliates, providing an additional pyramid layer to the scheme.

I say that because neither Ormeus Global or IQ Chain managed to generate any significant retail customer interest.

IQ Legacy being not much different will likely turn out the same.

In addition to the regulatory red flags we’ve already covered, IQ Legacy have also implemented “pay to play” by tying residual commission rates to how much a new affiliate pays when they sign up.

I also want to drive home IQ Legacy’s use of bitcoin. When you sign up to IQ Legacy your only option is to pay in bitcoin.

Speaking of which, if IQ Legacy follows Ormeus Global and IQ Legacy, affiliates will have no recourse to recover their losses.

By the time regulators get involved funds paid to IQ Legacy will have been laundered who knows where (in violation of securities and financial regulations globally).

Given how Ormeus Global and IQ Chain turned out, I can’t understate the significance of IQ Legacy only accepting and paying out bitcoin.

If I can break down IQ Legacy into its simplest form; you’re paying to invest in a bot that has no provided verifiable results (required to be disclosed for compliance), despite the bot originally launching last year.

Retail is possible but given the complete lack of retail interest in Ormeus Global and IQ Chain, IQ Legacy affiliates are going to be primarily paid to recruit new affiliates.

John Barksdale began his MLM cryptocurrency journey around eighteen months ago.

Through repeated failures that have primarily revolved around illegal securities offering, Barksdale has built a veritable house of cards.

One regulatory cease and desist or subpoena for information, and it all comes crashing down.

Update 18th December 2018 – Organo Gold corporate have responded to IQ Legacy’s use of their logo and branding by stating ‘IQ should not be using any IP of OG‘.
